Hey there,
Jeff and I and some other people think the "Hipster" article on Wikipedia
is really interesting. We were thinking of sharing it. Thank you for
reviewing!

PD images(kinda slim pickings here):

Directly from Wikipedia:
*"Some analysts contend that the notion of the contemporary hipster is
actually a myth created by marketing." *[link]
*Are you a hipster? Members of the subculture typically do not
self-identify as hipsters, and the word hipster.* [Link]
*The term was coined during the jazz age, when "hip" emerged as an
adjective to describe aficionados of the growing scene. *[Link]
Modified versions:
What's a Hipster? It's anyone's guess.[Link]
Are you a hipster? Let's find out. [Link]
Do you wear jean shorts, Converse All-Stars and drink Pabst? You might be a
hipster. [Link]
The contemporary usage of 'Hipster' first appeared in the 1990s but has
origins dating back to the 1940s Jazz scene. [Link]

Hi all,
We just published the new Wikimedia digest to the blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/30/digest-wiki-loves-africa/
I'd like to socialize the public-facing story from this (Wiki Loves Africa):
*Facebook:* Last year, Wiki Loves Africa focused on food. This year, it's
fashion. Can you help? (with in-text link to
https://www.facebook.com/wikilovesafrica/ )
*Twitter:* Help us add to our coverage of Africa's cultural fashions and
maybe win a prize.
Happy to hear alternatives.
